Funfetti pancakes flecked with rainbow sprinkles and slathered in vanilla frosting create a celebratory start to birthdays or any day! They use equal parts cake mix and pancake mix to achieve a cakelike texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 cup yellow or white cake mix
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon 2% milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 3/4 cup vanilla frosting
- Additional sprinkles
Directions
- Whisk pancake mix and cake mix. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, 1-1/2 cups milk and vanilla until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Let stand 10 minutes. Fold in 1/4 cup sprinkles.
- On a lightly greased griddle over medium heat, pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls to create 6 large pancakes. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop; turn. Cook until golden brown. Repeat, using smaller amounts of batter to create pancakes of different sizes.
- Microwave frosting and remaining milk, covered, on high until melted, 10-15 seconds. On each of the large pancakes, layer smaller pancakes in order of decreasing size with the smallest on top; drizzle with frosting. Top with additional sprinkles.
